As of my last update in October 2021, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi (BCBS MS) managed approximately 600,000 covered lives. However, for the most current figures, it's recommended to check their official website or recent reports, as these numbers may have changed since then.

Oral surgery for accidental injuries can be covered under the medical plan. Some oral diseases are paid under a dental plan and some diseases (like oral cancer problems) are covered under the medical plan. You must contact BCBS to get a determination of what conditions are covered under the medical plan (your particular plan).
You would need to check the medicad policy if the claim is covered or if they will be the 3rd party insurance payee in this case.
Blue Cross Blue Shield has many different plans. These plans each have different benefits. What is covered under one BCBS plan may/may not be covered under another. It all depends on how the plan was built by whomever your insurance is provided through. Many BCBS plans do cover the cost of a CPAP machine based on medical necessity. I would contact your BCBS plan using the member benefits number found on the card and ask them if the cost of a CPAP machine is covered under "YOUR" benefits.
You can have Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) as your primary insurance and Medicaid as your secondary insurance if you are eligible for both programs. This scenario typically occurs when you have a higher income or access to employer-sponsored BCBS coverage while also qualifying for Medicaid due to specific criteria, such as disability or low income. In this arrangement, BCBS pays first for covered services, and Medicaid may cover additional costs or services not fully paid by BCBS, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. It’s important to inform both insurers about your coverage to ensure proper coordination of benefits.
Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) coverage for multifocal lenses during cataract surgery varies by specific plan and state. Generally, while BCBS may cover the basic costs associated with cataract surgery, the additional costs for multifocal lenses may not be fully covered and could require out-of-pocket expenses. It's essential to check with your specific BCBS plan or contact customer service for detailed coverage information.
You can choose any doctor you would like with blue Cross Insurance. As long as the doctor is registered with the BCBS you will be covered.
Each insurance plan is different. And there are many, many plans within BCBS. If you are covered by your employer with BCBS, the benefits and exclusions are decided upon by your provider. Before you make any decisions about your healthcare, you need to go straight to the horse's mouth. If you are already covered by BCBS, call the Member Services line on the back of your card. They can tell you if a certain diagnosis is covered or not. You should have received a benefits booklet at the time you signed up for the health insurance that also explains all the covered benefits and those that are excluded. If you are just shopping for individual insurance, BCBS will determine if you are eligible for any particular procedure, or if you have already had several large claims for a certain illness, they may add a "rider" to your policy that says they won't pay for that particular diagnosis for a certain length of time, if ever. Group health insurance that is employer-provided is usually the most comprehensive.

It depends upon the specific benefits of your BCBS policy, however they (BCBS) would process on the remainder of the balance due up to Medicare's allowed charges unless your deductible was not satisfied with your BCBS policy. In that case the entire amount allowed by Medicare would be considered for the BCBS deductible.
